Upon seeing the shadow of a PIDGIN one should resist the urge to look up.

Good idea. Anything (even a Wetherspoons) is preferable to leaving the Hanbury's building to crumble. It's a shocking eyesore. Why on earth doesn't Stockport Council slap a compulsory purchase order on it? '>

Yes, that is my understanding too. But I believe that local authorities have the power to acquire property if it is standing empty and falling into disrepair. Perhaps we should be persuading our councillors to take up this matter.

The truth, of course, is that the whole of the Hollins needs knocking down, all the way from Hanbury's to Barclay's Bank. '>

All The Hollins Just Been refurbished new roof windows flat roof. woodwork painted at the back looks smart .why does it need pulling down .i think the coop still owns the lease on H Handburys .not a wetherspoons enough p.......s in marple .
